VAR-200605-0056

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:09

NmConsole/Login.asp in Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 and Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium generates different error messages in a way that allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information. WhatsUp Professional 2005 is prone to a remote security vulnerability.

TITLE: WhatsUp Professional Cross-Site Scripting and Information Disclosure

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA20075

VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/20075/

CRITICAL: Less critical

IMPACT: Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:

From remote

SOFTWARE: Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 http://secunia.com/product/9917/ Ipswitch WhatsUp Professional 2006 Premium http://secunia.com/product/9918/

DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities and weaknesses have been discovered in WhatsUp Professional, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of certain information or conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to NmConsole/Navigation.asp and to the "sHostname" parameter in NmConsole/ToolResults.asp is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a logged in user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Example: http://[host]:8022/NmConsole/Navigation.asp?">[code]

2) Input passed to NmConsole/Tools.asp and NmConsole/DeviceSelection.asp is also not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a logged in user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

3) It's possible to disclose monitored devices without being logged in by passing arbitrary values to the "nDeviceGroupID" parameter in "NmConsole/utility/RenderMap.asp".

Example: http://[host]:8022/NmConsole/utility/RenderMap.asp?nDeviceGroupID=2

4) Input passed to the "sRedirectUrl" and "sCancelURL" in NmConsole/DeviceSelection.asp is not properly verified, which makes it possible to redirect a user to an arbitrary web site.

It is also possible to disclose the source code of the ASP pages by appending a period to the end of the file extension.

5) Different error messages are returned during login to "NmConsole/Login.asp" depending on whether the supplied username or password is incorrect.

6) It is possible to disclose path information in 404 error messages returned by the service.

SOLUTION: Restrict access to port 8022/tcp and don't visit other web sites while logged in.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1, 3, 4) David Maciejak 2, 5, 6) Reported by an anonymous person.
